Background
Information - UNMAS
Established in
1997 by the General Assembly, the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) serves
as the United Nations focal point for mine action and supports its vision of
"a world free of the threat of landmines and unexploded ordnance, where
individuals and communities live in a safe environment conducive to
development, and where mine survivors are fully integrated into their
societies."
UNMAS coordinates
and collaborates with fourteen UN departments, agencies, programmes and
funds to ensure an effective, proactive and coordinated response to the
problems of landmines and explosive remnants of war, including cluster
munitions.
UNMAS establishes,
manages, and provides strategic direction to mine-action coordination centres
in countries and territories as part of peacekeeping operations and humanitarian
emergencies or crises. In these situations, UNMAS may plan and carry out
mine-action projects, support and coordinate the work of local and
international mine-action service providers, and set priorities for mine
clearance, mine-risk education and all other aspects of mine action.
